NDP In Pitt Meadows-Maple Ridge Back Bob D’eith

Press Release: NDP In Pitt Meadows-Maple Ridge Back Bob D’eith

MAPLE RIDGE – Yesterday afternoon, New Democrats from across the
riding of Pitt Meadows-Maple Ridge gathered to elect lawyer, musician,
and active community volunteer Bob D’Eith to be their candidate for the
next federal election.
“Beyond Bob’s extensive and vast experience, he is also committed to
his community and a strong advocate for accountability, openness and
action,” said NDP Leader Tom Mulcair. “The fact that, like me, he is
also a former minor hockey coach, is just icing on the cake. I’m very
happy to have him on our team.”
A father of five, D’Eith has been involved in the music industry for
twenty-five years in a variety of capacities from two time JUNO Award
nominee to music lawyer. For the past fourteen years, he has been the
executive director of the Music BC Industry Association and, for the
last two, an active member of the Maple Ridge Pitt Meadows Arts Council.
“I am honoured to have been chosen to be the NDP candidate for the
Pitt Meadows-Maple Ridge,” said D’Eith. “The people I speak with are
ready for change and only Tom Mulcair has the experience and principled
policies to replace Stephen Harper.”
Speaking after the meeting, D’Eith continues, “The NDP stands for the
Canada that I know and love. A Canada that provides peace-keepers to
countries in need. A Canada that cares about the environment, our water
and our coast-lines. A compassionate Canada with a strong middle-class
that takes care of those less fortunate. A Canada that values our rights
and freedoms. I hope that I can be part of the solution, working with
Tom Mulcair and the NDP to move our amazing country towards a Canada
that we can all be proud of.”
